this is andre` sonjas best friend, lover and life partner, some of you know me and some of you dont but we all know and love sonja so at the end of the day we are all truly connected to one another through her love for us all. this will be my 1st post on her blog and ill try to be as funny as sonja but you know sonja shes got this wicked sense of humor, even with cancer in the shadows.

well as im here at the hospital waiting for updates i just want all of you to know shes in surgery now, the process is estimated to last 8 hours, "wow 8 fucking hours" now you all know sonja, shes looking at it as 8 hours of much needed sleep and the fact that she'll have a new set of tits by the time she wakes up, (im stoked) im quoting her here. before going into the o.r she was laughing and joking around with her team of doctors typical of sonja to poke fun at any situation no matter how serious. i mean really did you think she was just gonna sit back and let this shit get her down, hell no! sonja wins! again!

sonja has this thing about her that is so wonderful, magical at times really, her amazing outlook on everything whether positive or negative is above and beyond! im in awe of her in so many ways and for this i love her like no other! she has been my rock, she is the moon of my life! i am moved beyond words from the out pour of love, prayers, meditations and support not only from our families but from each and everyone of her friends, co-workers, past and present. your words to her have been the pilar of strength your energy has given her the courage and the attitude to kick the shit out of this, sonja can do that, kick the shit of things.

so on that note ive now gotten my 1st update from dr karlan her surgeon, he is quite pleased with the removal of the cancer we are not sure what the final size was, tbd. so phase 1 went very well, phase 2 will be several hours before we have an update, i will do my best to blog again tonight when shes out and resting.

Andre will have my cell phone and computer so feel free to text or call me and he will respond! Also, his # is 818-515-6705.

SONJA WINS - Mortal Kombat style

I am officially radioactive! Today I had a
lymphoscintigraphy performed. Basically radioactive dye that they inject me
with to help determine which lymph nodes to remove. I asked the nuclear medicine
doctor if it would give me special powers?! She smiled and said I could go home
and pretend that it did but I would have to turn the lights off! It's nice when
your doctors have a sense of humor as well!

I also had my final consultation with my plastic
surgeon. I have lots of fun pictures of me covered in purple lines.
Sorry I love you all but not posting those! At least now I have a total
understanding of exactly what and where she is cutting and what she
will be removing. It really is fascinating! TMI again but I had no
idea that you can tattoo a nipple! Fingers crossed I wake up with mine but
there is a possibility that I may not. That's a whole other
conversation entirely that I’m sure I will get to at some point!

So I’m home chilling tonight! A couple of friends are
coming over as I make soup and sauces with my awesome vitamix to freeze! I'll
make sure Andre updates my Facebook and I will try and post something
as soon as I’m up to it! You know me...it's always a party so if you are in the
area come on by the hospital! Let's see if we can get kicked out! Otherwise I
will be propped up on my couch for a few weeks!

Love you all and thank you so much for all of the prayers and
words of encouragement! Now lets go kick cancers ass!!!

Just because! I can't be the only one that see's these and wants to pull it EVERY TIME!!!
